  1. What color is the ALICE field pack? Black or dark green? It looks green in this picture. But it looks black in this one.
  2. Thank you! I'll make sure to check out the for sale section.
  3. I found this voice amp on Amazon. I think it is supposed to play music too, so I could have some comm chatter. https://www.amazon.com/WinBridge-Rechargeable-Ultralight-Presentations-Etc-Black/dp/B014JJG43E/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1549580154&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=voice+amplifier&psc=1
  4. I just wanted to show the progress my little brother and I made on his EVA foam Battlefront shadow trooper kit. I made him the helmet for Christmas and now we are working together on his armor. Here is his helmet. There are some changes we are going to make. We are going to replace the black lenses with silver reflective ones. And I might replace the mic tips with some better ones. And Here's his Abdomen and Kidney armor. We still have to add the smaller details on the ab plate, and we are going to hold off on the U-trim until we are sure the armor doesn't need to be trimmed anymore. It's fun working on this scale. We made these two pieces in a couple of hours.
  5. I was referring to the plate that covers the gap in the kidney in Rogue One.
  6. How is the cover strip on the kidney plate attached? Is it completely held on by velcro? Or is one side glued on and the other attached with velcro?
  7. I'm working on the boots too. I tried to make FOTK boots out of EVA foam, but it didn't work. I going to try getting a pair of slip-on shoes from the thrift store, then use some white vinyl I have laying around to make the boots. I'm tempted to make Tank trooper boots instead though. They should have been used for the R1 TKs These are IB's. They are so cool! And they weren't even seen on screen!
  8. I made some headway over the past week. Here is what I've done. Here are my Hand guards. I wanted to do a step by step for one of my armor pieces. Here's how I did the shoulder bells. Here's the basic foam cutout and the other finished shoulder bell. It took me four tries to get the right shape and size. First I did some pre-shaping by stretching it. Then I glued the slit together with hot glue. As you can see, this is still a pretty rough shape. So I trimmed it to size and used a Dremel to sand down the seam. Then I glued on the ridge. I glued a piece of cardboard cut from a cereal box to the inside of the piece. It helps to retain it's shape. Then I sanded the edges down with a Dremel. Finished! All I have left to do is fill in the seams on the ridges!
  9. Okay, thanks! I figured that there was some room, but I wasn't sure.
  10. Does anyone know how the R1 thighs and shins fit? Are they tight against the legs, or do they have a lot of room?
  11. I don't have any streaming services. I bought each season of Rebels as it came out on DVD. I think I will watch it with some friends or family who are planning on getting the streaming service, but I will be buying it when it come out on DVD. There have also been reports that Thrawn will be in episode 9. Matt Smith has been cast for the movie, and I think he REALLY looks like Thrawn. Same jawline.
  12. Yeah, I always thought that MEPD took troopers that were dirty and modified for their specific environment. This guy just has a pack and pauldron. Kind of like a HWT.
  13. I'm sure Stormtroopers won't be a huge part of the story. Though I did hear that Deathtroopers will be the main antagonists in the show. There are rumors that Thrawn will be in it too. That would explain why Deathtroopers are there.
  14. The Mandalorian has a $100,000,000 budget.
  15. How come they are both dirty in the same spot? It kinda looks like the First Order TK helmet. Yes! I hated that they gave them FO boots! It didn't make any sense. They gave shore troopers chelsea boots. Why not give the TK's chelsea boots?
  16. I liked the R1 Stormtroopers. The only changes that I thought were odd was the longer back plate and the different ab/kidney strapping. I would have preferred a canvas belt and E-11 holster instead of a plastic armor plate too. I guess the troopers weren't different for Solo because they were in it so little. The costume department didn't feel it was necessary to make a whole new suit. The Stormtroopers in the Thrawn comic wore full phase II Clone trooper armor. ----------------
  17. Who here is excited for The Mandalorian? I know I am! I love Mandalorians, so this show is a dream come true for me! This show just seems to get better and better as they release more info on it. One very exciting thing is the appearance of Stormtroopers and Deathtroopers on set. As expected, the TK's appear to be Rogue One/Solo style. It would be interesting if Disney took into consideration that this show takes place after ROTJ, So the troopers should be styled after ROTJ troopers. They could add trim to the chest, back, ab, and kidney. And use snowtrooper hand guards. White soles on the boots would be cool too. It's hard to tell from the picture whether they did this or not, but I'm not very hopeful. I'm also hoping that they introduce more upgraded Imperials. That would be cool if they redid the Scout trooper, or Snowtrooper. I'm pretty sure they won't though.
